Building Site


Scenes like this are very common at the moment. In fact there are so many flat complexes in construction, sometimes we wonder who will live in them!

But in fact Bursa is growing very fast, and as the economy stabilises more people can afford to buy their own home.

There is a trend to move out of the old houses in the town centre into modern flat blocks in the suburbs, like these will become.

Have they upgraded the Construction rules so that they do not topple down at the first rumblings from within the earth?

This always concerns me when growth takes of in certain parts of the world.

Hello Julie. Yes, there were many tragedies in the 1999 earthquake and since then new rules have been introduced.

Actually developments like this one use some very modern techniques.
